40 Ridge Rd, Lansing, NY

Commercial Mixed-Use District

The intent of the B1 District is to designate areas where development will be encouraged to occur in ways that can lead to an identifiable focal point for the Town, a center of commerce and community activity, and an efficient area for public utility and transportation services. Relatively dense development and a mixture of land uses, including residential, small-scale retail commercial and office, specialty shops, personal services, light industry, recreation and public space, are appropriate and desirable development characteristics of the B1 District. To achieve the harmonious and compatible use and development of land, it is appropriate to consider each development proposal as it relates to the overall development plan of the entire district, and particularly as it affects adjacent land uses and the safe movement of traffic. Site planning concerns relate to the size and location of buildings, yards, the placement and design of roads, the size and location of parking, landscaping, buffers, control of traffic access to primary roads, and such other elements as may be reasonably related to the health, safety and general welfare of the Town.
